Aerin teams up with Neue Galerie on exclusive lipstick launch

Aerin Lauder is launching a limited edition lipstick set to celebrate the opening of a Gustav Klimt exhibition in New York.

In a move that merges the worlds of art and beauty, the lifestyle entrepreneur and granddaughter of Estée Lauder has created two shades of lip color inspired by a Klimt Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I from 1907, Women's Wear Daily reports. Both colors will be sold as a pair in the shop of the Neue Galerie New York, where the exhibition "Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold" opens on April 2.

The colors are Liebling, a blush hue which existed already, and Sequin, which contains a golden shimmer echoing the painting and is both brand new and exclusive to the Neue Galerie.

"Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold" focuses on the relationship between the artist and Bloch-Bauer, one of his most pivotal subjects. It comprises paintings, sketches and vintage photographs and will run through September 7.

The Aerin for Neue Galerie lipstick set costs $64 and can be ordered exclusively through the Neue Galerie Design Shop with delivery starting the week of March 30. Proceeds will go towards the museum's exhibitions and education programs.
